Does anyone know?

How much will i get started with if am to graduate with associate degree this semester. can't wait to.

I must have missed something. I thought you weren't yet in school....? Are you expecting to graduate in a couple of months (in which case, I'm not sure why so many of your questions aren't answered)? Or are you not yet accepted into school?

I'm confused as well. You're supposed to graduate this semester, yet you started a thread asking what OR and ER stood for and what an oncologist was? These are very basic terms, one that an almost graduated nursing student should have a good handle on, I would think.

I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to understand you.

As for your original question--where in New York will you be working. The starting salaries and benefits vary greatly if you were working in Syracuse as opposed to midtown Manhattan or Long Island. And are we assuming that you're going to persue a career as a hospital nurse, or were you looking to work in a clinic, school, doctor's office, jail, etc.

Best of Luck

Thanks for ur concerns, actually am in skuul n will start my programme next semester. i just wanted to know ahead of time. Well i dont even know the differences from a hospital nurse or a clinic nurse or school or doctor's office. I try to brighten the corner i find myself in. But i think i would prefer being a hospital nurse. i also prefer working in manhattan. could i get started well???

Ok, so you're starting the nursing program in September (the next semester, yes?) which means you're looking at a minimum of four semesters, two years of core classes, and NOT graduating NEXT semester. Some of your confusion over basic terms at least is making some sense.

Doggybour, I'm going to have to risk being perceived as rude, and I REALLY don't want it to come out that way but I'm having a hard time deciding how to word this so it doesn't and yet is still effective.

I suggest you spend a good amount of time reading around these message boards, which will give you not only a feel for what nursing actually is, but the differences between different types of nurses, different areas of employment and such. There are dozens and dozens of boards relating to various specialties and SO MANY of your very basic questions can be answered just by you doing some reading yourself.

Beyond that (here's the part that's going to probably sound rude and isn't intended as such), it would make it SO much easier to read your posts and correspond with you if you didn't use "text message speak" and poor grammar in your posts. Reading "skuul" and "ur" and alot of partial sentences, misspelled and non-capitalized words makes it hard to get to what you're saying sometimes. For what it's worth, you're going to be doing ALOT of writing and a good handle on English is imperative if you plan to be successful in any nursing program.

I love seeing enthusiastic students, and you're no exception. But in order to be taken seriously and succeed, you'll need to do some research on your own (such as reading threads before asking questions that have probably been answered a hundred times already). You'll also need to be able to communicate so that you get the best responses possible when you do ask important questions.

Sure hoping that comes out ok. :uhoh21:

Take care, and best of luck to you!

guys this person just asked a simple question...he didnt ask for a lecture about his/her grammer. Sopose english is not their native language.

anyhow as for your question wether or not its clear of your graduation date which is irrelevant, i hear the starting rate with an associate degree is 30$ an hr around that and about 50- 60 something a yr

i hope i helped

Thanks for your sweet way of approach. You are right. English is not my native language. Thanks for being very helpful. God Bless.

Nothing in the responses to the original post was irrelevant, including the suggestion that it would be easier for the person to succeed in school and GET a license if he or she could be understood in written form. Plenty of people have English as their second language; I was referring to the text-message style abbreviations that are hard to read on this forum (and anywhere else).

You're likely a student too and don't like what I had to say, that's fine, but I was in no way rude. I went out of my way to explain why I was being HONEST with the person who was posting those messages around the boards.

Too many people WON'T be honest, and will laugh at you and let you fall flat on your face without having once offered a suggestion to help you succeed. Is that what anyone really wants??

I don't think anyone was "lecturing" on grammar. The poster didn't get many responses. Two of the major reasons is because the question being asked is repetitive and can be answered using a simple search of the forum and reading through some of the recent threads. This was previously pointed out.

The 2nd reason is the choice of words like 'skuul'. This is not an issue of grammar or english being a second language. I just started my 1st clinical semester and in one of our first classes, the professor already warned us of the language that we used and the way we present ourselves. Not just in the hospital, but also the way we conduct ourselves at school.

RNsRWe was only offering "constructive critism." No one likes to be criticized, but her suggestions will only enhance your success in the nursing field. Actually any field.

well everyone has a right to their opinions and i know where you two are coming from, and yes i am a nursing student but what does that have to do with anything? i love the idea of nursing because what they do is help people without offending them, not that i know if the person was offended cause i certainly am not....i take it in good stride if possible, but a little debate here and there is life

There is a reason, or it would not have been asked. The reason I asked about your being a student as opposed to a working nurse is that a student still has to prove himself or herself as a viable candidate for graduation. This is done through satisfactory academics as well as skill demonstrations. If one cannot demonstrate the basic academic skills required to pass nursing curriculum as well as general education requirements, a passion for nursing is useless. If one cannot properly complete an application or get through an interview, that passion is equally useless. A desire to help people by becoming a nurse is wonderful; I'm sure that's why most of us did it (not counting, for the time being, those who see dollar signs and little else). But that desire alone won't give you success in school, and all I was hoping to do for doggybour was point out some obvious roadblocks to his or her success. It would be a shame for anyone to really want to become a nurse and find that grade-school academics is what holds one back. The quality of your writing is incredibly important BEYOND school, as well: I can't imagine what a smart lawyer would do to charting that looks like some of the messages here.

Doofy, thank you for seeing what I was saying, it's appreciated. Bklyngirl, I hope you do know where we're coming from: we don't want you (collective you) to fail in this wonderful endeavor, we WANT you all to succeed! And recognizing obstacles to that success is crucial in getting them moved OUT of your way. :)

Really, honestly, best of luck to both (all) of you. We need good nurses, and we need them now. I don't wish to war with anyone, I was offering my "been there done that" perspective. If it's not welcome, so be it. But it does have value, and I leave it at that.

Carry on!
